How do you break in dealer boots? ›

One of the most common ways to break in your new safety boots is by wearing them around the house. Do this daily for ten minutes or so at first, and gradually increase the time spent wearing them. You should do this for a while before you wear them for a full day's work.

According to Smith, while a cheaper pair under $100 probably won't last long (and will eventually force you to go out and buy another pair), paying between $100 to $300 will likely get you a quality boot. He recommends brands such as Rieker, Clarks and Rockport, which, in his experienced eye, balance price and quality.

Ideally, you want them to feel snug and supportive. Avoid pinching, pain, and pressure—if they're uncomfortable; you might need to adjust the size up. Alternatively, a loose steel toe boot can cause its own set of issues. Avoid letting your foot slip and slide around inside a boot that's too large.

The breaking-in process can take a few days or weeks, depending on the boots and what you do while wearing them. Start with an hour or two and build up to a full day. Wear them with two pairs of socks. As long as it doesn't cause discomfort, you can wear your boots for a few hours a day with two pairs of socks.

Kangaroo leather has the best strength/weight ratio of any upland boot leather available. Australian kangaroo leather is lighter but stronger than cowhide of equal thickness. Kangaroo is a very light-weight and thin leather that is ounce-for-ounce the toughest leather in the world.

HOW ARE BOOTS SUPPOSED TO FIT? Boots should not be too loose or too tight on your foot. The best fit should be snug (but not tight) around the whole of your foot, with enough room to move your toes and a maximum of a quarter to a half-inch of slippage at the heel.

Buying boots that are slightly larger can provide more comfort during these times. Arch Support and Width: Pay attention to the arch support and width of the boots. Ensure that the arch of the boot aligns well with the arch of your foot. If you have wider feet, you might need safety boots with a wider width.

Give yourself some wiggle room. A safety toe boot that fits properly allows space between your toes and the toe cap. In fact, your big toe should be about halfway under, and your pinky toe should rest just behind the toe cap when standing. In other words, the top cap is only intended to cover the first four toes.

How do you soften dealer boots? ›

The easiest and safest method is to wear them with a thick or second pair of socks around the house or on short outings. Breaking in boots by wearing extra socks forces the leather to stretch from the inside out and emphasizes problem spots in the fit of your cowboy boot.

Wear your boots for a few hours at a time

This isn't the best way to break in boots. Instead, gradually break them in by wearing your shoes for short periods. This allows the boots to form to your feet and provides ample recovery time between wears, helping you get accustomed to the feel of the shoes.

What is the best way to break in army boots? Shower in them. You might've heard this one already. Wash your feet, put on the boots with no socks, take a shower in them, then wear them until dry.
